of Rastra Pita Mahatma Gandhi Ji.

the upliftment of poor villagers.

HONOURS

Swamiji did not need any Honours, titles and prizes. But in 1982 the then President,
Government of India Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy taking his great works and high social
service conformed upon Swamiji Padma Shree. As matter of fact the Honour of Padam Shree
hadnot honoured Swamiji but Padam Shree itself had been honoured. In 1993 Swamiji was
first to be selected for the Nanda Naitikk Puraskar instituted by Gulzari Lal Nanda
foundation after the name of Shri Gulzari Lal Nanda. Although the selfless services
rendered by Swamiji are so much that the highest honour of the country if awarded to
Swamiji shall equate his services. The great and revered personality of Swamiji hadrein
much higher then these honours and prizes. He had done so may kindness and services to the
nation and we cannot repay him in any way-Swamiji was in reality was heavenly saint and
Epoch creator.
